Welcome to Austin Solar Air Conditioning

Austin Solar AC develops thermal solar air-conditioning technology and systems that do not use electricity to run a conventional compressor, and do not use Freon. Utilizing parabolic trough solar technology Austin Solar AC provides heating and cooling for homes and businesses. We also offer systems that connect to PV solar power.

Austin Solar AC helps people cool down without damaging the environment and with significant cost savings over conventional air conditioning technology.

The Solar Solution

As technology progresses, solar solutions for businesses and homes will become more accessible and more affordable. In fact, an air conditioning unit powered completely by solar energy is eco-friendly and cost effective. There are other methods of utilizing solar energy to power an air conditioning system, but none are as effective as our parabolic trough technology.

The Product - Solar AC

Austin Solar AC units can be installed prior to building completion or they can replace your current air conditioning system. Certified air conditioning professionals must install your system to ensure you get the most of your solar powered AC.
